In 2006, the group disbanded due to lead singer Mark Stuarts spasmodic dysphonia, during this time, they released eight studio albums. After a six-year hiatus, the band reformed in 2012 with only bassist Will McGinnis returning from the original line-up, the new Audio Adrenaline was fronted by Kevin Max, formerly of DC Talk, as the new lead vocalist. This new line-up released a new album titled Kings & Queens in March 12,2013. In June 2014, Max stepped down as lead singer of the band, the first single of the new Audio Adrenaline was released in 2015 under the title Love Was Stronger. It was included in their studio album titled Sound of the Saints. The band was formed as A-180 in 1986 by Mark Stuart, Barry Blair, Will McGinniss, David Stuart, and Phil Vaughan, the band went on hiatus the following year when Mark traveled to Haiti for a semester. Upon Marks return to Kentucky, the band reformed with Ron Gibson on drums and they became a popular local band, booked by the school nearly every weekend and traveling as far west as Texas, north to Chicago, and south to Florida. The band did over 100 shows during time and recorded two independent releases under the name A-180. The first was You Turn in 1989 and Reapers Train in 1990, Reapers Train featured the original version of the song DC-10, which would later be included on the first Audio Adrenaline release. The bands big break would come upon meeting Bob Herdman, Herdman approached A-180 with two songs he had written, one of them called My God, and asked A-180 to record it. The song was described in a CCM Magazine article as a marriage of heavy metal. After the song was recorded at Landmark Recording Studio, in Ohio, as a result, Herdman also started to learn to play keyboards and guitar. The demo tape of My God was sent to radio stations, following this, the song caught the attention of Toby McKeehan, who brought it to the executives at ForeFront Records. The label decided to offer a deal to A-180 but had them change their name to Audio Adrenaline a name that Herdman had come up with previously. After signing their deal with Forefront, the band started writing and recording demo songs similar to My God for the first album, the band has described this period as one of adaptation and experimentation since ForeFront wanted a hip-hop act. As a result, Dave Stuart and Ron Gibson left the band, singer Mark Stuart said in an interview We had no idea what we were doing

Bambaataa introduced them to Native Tongues members including De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, at this time, JuJu and Psycho Les were DJing parties under the alias Beat Kings. The Jungle Brothers claimed that they were not kings, but rather two nuts for their nature and the fact that they were crazy enough to carry hundreds of records to every show they played.

The Beatnuts entered the industry in 1990 producing two tracks for the British alternative hip hop/electronica group Stereo MCs as well as a song for British rapper Monie Love. Over the next two years, they produced songs for rappers including Common, Pete Nice & DJ Richie Rich and Kurious, as of 1992, JuJu had not appeared on a record, but fellow Beatnuts rappers Fashion and Psycho Les appeared on tracks that he produced.
